Prince I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man Lyrics
sponsored links
It was only last JuneWhen her old man ran away
She couldn't stop crying
Cause she knew he was gone to stay
It was 10:35 on a lonely Friday night
She was standin' by the bar
She was lookin' alright, yeah
I asked if she wanted to dance
And she said all she wanted was a good man
And wanted to know
If I thought I was qualified, yeah
And I said, baby don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man
It hurt me so bad when she told me
With tears in her eyes (Tears in her eyes)
He was all she ever had
And now she wanted to die
He left her with a baby
And another one on the way
She couldn't stop cryin'
Cause she knew he was gone to stay
She asked me if we could be friends
And I said, oh, honey baby that's a dead end
You know and I know
That we wouldn't be satisfied
No
And I said
Baby don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
You wouldn't be satisfied (Wouldn't be satisfied)
With a one night stand
And I could never take the place of your man
Yeah, yeah, the place of your man
